What does Tramp stand for in Emacs user manual?

TRAMP 2.4.2 User Manual. This file documents TRAMP 2.4.2, a remote file editing package for Emacs. TRAMP stands for “Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol”. This package provides remote file editing, similar to Ange FTP.

Can you transfer files from one host to another using Tramp?

TRAMP can also transfer files between hosts using standard Emacs interfaces, a benefit of direct integration of TRAMP in Emacs. TRAMP can transfer files using any number of available host programs for remote files, such as rcp, scp, rsync or (under MS Windows) pscp.

What does a remote file name look like in tramp?

TRAMP extends the Emacs file name syntax by a remote component. A remote file name looks always like /method:user@host:/path/to/file. You can use remote files exactly like ordinary files, that means you could open a file or directory by C-x C-f /method:user@host:/path/to/file RET, edit the file, and save it.

Is there a way to cache passwords in tramp?

TRAMP can cache passwords as entered and reuse when needed for the same user or host name independent of the access method. password-cache-expiry sets the duration (in seconds) the passwords are remembered. Passwords are never saved permanently nor can they extend beyond the lifetime of the current Emacs session.

When to use an IP in tramp mode?

Also check that the hostname you are invoking Tramp with, matches what is in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file; e.g. if the known_hosts file specifies the host with an IP, use an IP in the Tramp invocation. If you’re using SVN or DARCS (or likely other things) with VC, see below for problem descriptions.

Where does the SCP error message come from?

I’m trying to upgrade a router with CiscoWorks RME using SCP. It fails and says ” SCP: [22 -> x.x.x.x:28475] send Privilege denied.”. The privilege level for this user is 15. I have checked the firewall and it’s not blocking the traffic. Any ideas on where the privilege denied comes from? Thanks. Solved! Go to Solution. 01-05-2009 11:12 PM
